[Verse 1]
A       C       D       A
In the hardstone city where the dust gets in your eyes
A       C       D       A
Pa he's out drinking and there's children crying
A       C       D       A
Ma sits by the washing, she don't know what to do
A       C       D       A
Looks like this hardstone city's gonna get on top of you
A       C       D       A
They say in this hardstone city you gotta carry a gun
A       C       D       A
Well I ain't gonna carry no shooter for no one, no, no!
F       E       A       
Ain't gonna get me no body's gonna get me down
F       E       A
Ain't gonna get me no body's gonna get me down

Am      D

[Verse]
A       C       D       A
This hardstone city has me feeling low
A       C       D       A
All I hear is wildcats screaming on the radio
A       C       D       A
Gonna get my sister gonna hold her near
A       C       D       A
Gonna take her right, right out of here
A       C       D       A
I'm sick and tired of waking up in this town
A       C       D       A
All I hear is car horns hooting all day long
A       C       D       A
Gonna get me a lady, fall in love with her
A       C       D       A
And take her out of this crazy world
